As shown in the illustrations, there is attached to theopposite side of the headstock an extension shaft on whicharmature coils are wound. On the reverse side of the head-stock, not shown in the illustration, there is another extensionshaft for winding field or magnet coils. These shafts aredirect driven at 240 The machine is driven by a Westinghouse motor fastenedto a plate on the top of the headstock, and having gears run-ning into a clutch pulley. The clutch pulley has its teeth cut. rmature; Showing also Grinder and Truing Tool Separately only half way, so that by removing the intermediate gears, whichis done by taking out two cotter pins, the machine can be beltdriven. When the machine is used for banding or coil winding,the clutch is thrown in or out at the will of the operator bymeans of an adjustable treadle. The reverse side of the head-stock carries a starting box, which is within easy reach of theoperator when he is running the machine. The main drive isself-contained, consisting of a worm and screw in a dust-proofgear case, which is split in the center, so thai by unfasteningtwo screws the Rears can be removed without any furtherdismantling. When desired this machine can be furnishedfor variable speed operation. IOOO ELECTRIC RAILWAY JOURNAL. [Vol. XXXV. No. 23.
